1995 Honda Civic Ex Sedan 4-door 1.6l on 2040-cars

Year:1995 Mileage:177801 Color: is black and the interior is gray
Location:

United States

United States

Please note, this vehicle is being sold AS-IS. The mileage in the photo (177,801) is the actual mileage as of today (4/20/2014), but I will be driving this car in-town until it is sold.


I am selling my 1995 Honda Civic EX which has 177,801 miles on the engine and still runs great. This car has automatic transmission and an automatic sunroof. The exterior is black and the interior is gray. I bought this car in 2008 and it has been my daily driver ever since. It has been a very sturdy vehicle and I have never had to do any serious repairs on it.

The car starts without problem. I did not have any issues starting it through the cold winter. This would be the perfect car for somebody who is looking for something cheap and reliable, but it does have some minor issues. Please see below for details.


Issues:

  • Engine has leaked oil for several years. I check the levels frequently and refill every month or so. The issue has been consistent and has not increased. I do not know what the cause is, and I have had no other issues with the engine.
  • A hole has started to rot through under the carpet on the driver's side. See picture to get an idea of how big it is. It would be a good idea to replace the floorboard.
  • There is a slight alignment issue; if you hold the steering wheel completely straight the car veers slightly to the right. 
  • The ABS light comes on, though I have not had any issues with the brakes.
  • The air conditioning blows warm.
  • The driver's side window does not roll down. It occasionally shifts down by itself so the window is open about an inch. I always push it back up with my hands.
  • The rear door on the passenger's side does not open from the outside.
  • There are a few small cigarette burns on the backseat and a few under the floormat on the driver's side. This car has not been smoked in for over two years, so I do not believe there to be any smoke smell.
  • The carpet has some burns and stains. There are spots where the carpet is worn and discolored.
  • There are no rear speakers.
  • There is some rust on the outside, and the paint is in poor condition. See pictures for details.


Repairs:

  • Muffler replaced last year
  • Brake Master Cylinder replaced about 3 years ago

  • The hood latch is broken. My mechanic rigged it to open from the outside - there is a small latch near the hood that opens it.

Honda surprises with Gear concept in Montreal

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

It's not often that a major automobile manufacturer debuts a brand-new concept at the Montreal International Auto Show - mostly because it takes place concurrently with the massive show in Detroit - but here we are with the so-called Honda Gear Concept Study Model, which was just uncovered by our friendly neighbors to the north.
According to the automaker, the Gear "demonstrates Honda's innovative approach to providing the automotive answer for young, urban, Gen-Y lifestyles. Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles... Gear is simple and utilitarian, but also customizable, connected and full of personality." It is apparently "practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car," according to Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas.
We don't know anything else - what might lie underhood, how it is "connected" or at what price point it might potentially be sold at. Check out our high-res image gallery above and the press release below and you'll know just about as much as we do.

Why Honda of America won't fit 2014 Fit models with start/stop

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

One of the most recent yet notable additions to the modern vehicle's growing suite of fuel-saving technologies is the humble start-stop system. It's rather simple - when the vehicle is stopped, the engine shuts off. It then fires back up when the driver starts to take his foot off the brake or step on the clutch. For one of the most important fuel sippers of the year, though, start-stop tech is a no-go.
Honda will not be offering the system on the North American-spec, non-hybrid Fit despite it being a standard item on both the hybrid (pictured above) and gas-only Japanese domestic models. According to Honda, it's ostensibly due to the momentary lag, that occurs when the gas engine re-fires and power is available. The start-stop-equipped Fits "will lose at stoplights to V6s," Nobuhiko Shishido, the lead powertrain engineer for the Fit, told Automotive News. This is just an observation on our part, but unless the new Fit turns up with dramatically more than the current car's 117 horsepower, it'll "lose at stoplights" regardless of whatever fuel-saving features are fitted.
The other issue Honda sees is more realistic. In the world of the EPA, stop-start systems are not taken into account in fuel economy testing. That makes the cost-adding technology a tough sell for US consumers who are forced to take a dealer's word on real-world economy gains over the milage numbers on the window sticker. That said, wouldn't it at least make sense to offer start-stop as an option? Have your say in the Comments below.

eBay Find of the Day: Ayrton Senna's 1993 Honda NSX

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

It's not often that things owned by the late Ayrton Senna come up for sale, but the seller of this black-on-black 1993 Honda NSX (aka, Acura NSX) eBay find claims it was once owned by the Formula One legend, and that he left a footprint on the factory carpet that can still be seen today. (Footprint, or vacuum lines?...)
NSX no. T000999 was given to Senna as a gift from his mentor and sponsor, Antonio de Almeida Braga, the seller claims, and it was stored at a palace near the Estoril F1 circuit in Portugal. He also was known to drive two other NSXs, a black one and a red one - the latter in which he was seen often.
The seller claims to have owned T000999, which is still in Portugal, for 17 years, and the 31,000-mile odometer indicates it was driven about 1,500 miles per year on average. Thankfully the car has been kept stock, so whoever buys it can enjoy driving it just as Senna did - that is, if the car actually is what it's claimed to be. If the story checks out, then this is one valuable NSX, which is reflected in the high minimum starting bid of 47,500 pounds ($73,620). There have been no bids at time of writing, but with nine days left in the auction, we'll be keeping our eyes on this one.
